canadian media and news literacy at an all time low and now audiences are being forced to enter even more deeply unserious territory with ideas like this. to those media execs: don’t blame young people for seeking other forms of content or getting news on tiktok when you’re airing brain rot

Canadians on here actually being like "I can't believe how bad things are getting in the US" without acknowledging Alberta just passed some of the harshest anti-LGBTQ+ laws and are about to vote Doug Ford back into power. Wakeup because the far right are in inside the building

If you gave up wearing a mask, you can start again. Even (and especially) if you have already been infected. Every infection you prevent is worth it. Changing your mind on your behavior because you have learned new information is normal and correct. Masking is community care and self care.

For those fooled by the government spin that the shortage of doctors won’t impact your health, this is merely one example of how doctors save lives. #OntarioPoli #DougFord

FFS Ford and his corrupt PC gov are using every trick in the book to grab another majority: Snap election during shortest month of year with Reading Week and peak southern travel season. Don't just rage on social: share the 3 day advance polling info with everyone #CanadianSky #OntarioElection

1 in every 4 kids will develop #LongCovid symptoms following Covid infection. It is the result of an analysis of 8373 publications with a total of 80,071 children and adolescents. Anyone denying this cannot be a Health Secretary anywhere. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
